Research from the University of Cincinnati is examining a protein that plays a key role in heart failure.
The study is funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute for just over $2 million dollars for four years and is a second renewal of a previous grant given to Sakthivel Sadayappan, PhD, professor in the Division of Cardiovascular Health and Disease in the Department of Internal Medicine at the UC College of Medicine.
Heart disease is a complex clinical syndrome that is a predominant cause of mortality in adults, says Sadayappan. With all the technology and treatment options, heart disease is still the number one killer worldwide and the leading cause of death for men and women in the U.S.
